Can I Get An Amen?

Finally, Shari has returned from the wilderness that is Phoenix. Here twelve day trip is over and she's back home. O'Hare has never looked so good as she walked down its crappy hallway towards Baggage Claim! She was late (thanks to an aborted landing and a go-around) and so that put us in early evening traffic on the perpetually under construction freeways/tollways of Chicagoland. Didn't matter - it was just great to be together and to be able to talk to one another. It is so good to have her home!

Hoping you got a chance to see/hear/read Barack's speech in Philadelphia today. In a word, brilliant. I defy Shrillary to even try and give a speech like that without sounding like the calculating, soulless candidate that she is. If you didn't get a chance to hear it, here it is:



Thought-provoking and really quite brilliant.
